How to reset the Switch???

I have this new SRW224P switch at my office and tried changing the default password to a new password and did say that the settings were ok, but when I tried to test using my new password, seems that it keeps me from prompting the same password window. I noticed there is no reset or anything on the device. How can I undo my settings???

Re: How to reset the Switch???

there is actually a way to access the switch again...follow the procedures below:

1. Connect to the console port using terminal emulation parameters (typically 38400, 8, 0, 1, None)2. Reboot switch (Remove power)3. Hold down Ctrl U while rebootinga. Menu will be displayed4. Select> [D] Delete file5. Type startup-config (be sure that this is the ONLY file that you delete – if you delete other files, you will have to reload the firmware)6. Now, you have erased the configuration file and you should be able to reboot and login with the default username and password.

I found this when i was serching. It is cool it should work for the following types of Linksys models Switches SRW2016, SRW2024, SRW2048, SRW224G4, SRW248G4, and possibly other switches.

At this time, this password recovery procedure is not made publicly available by Linksys. Furthermore, when I needed to password recover one of these switches for the first time, I was given wrong information from Linksys. As such, I'm documenting this procedure here for reference. In fact, this may be the first time this procedure has been documented.

Follow these steps to password recover the applicable Linksys switches.

Physical access of the switch is required, in order to connect the serial cable.

--

1.) Connect the Linksys serial cable that came with the switch between the switch serial port and a nearby computer serial port. For Windows, use Hyper Terminal or VanDyke CRT/SecureCRT. For Linux, use minicom. For other unix types, try cu/tip.

Re: How to reset the Switch???

Hello! I have a similar problem. I hope somebody can help me. I have a switch SRW2016. I don´t know the password and my partners have forgotten it. I have done the steps recommended for Pmathew and sardynx27, but the switch ignores the default password, I think. Is there any procedure to recover the default configuration? Thank you very much.

Try it again but this time dont disconnect the serial cable on the last step, login via hypertterminal not the browser and add the default password back into the list, in the menu there is an option for passwords, if there are no current passwords, just add admin back into it, save the settings, reboot switch, now try login via the web browser with the password that you added to the list.
